In fact, I had never heard criticism of it till a colleague or two grumbled about it and their grumble, because of their trustworthiness, had the ring of credibility. I may have been hasty in posting my comment, especially since it was in the realm of hearsay. <BR/><BR/>Ken, thanks, I saw your post on Leonard. I was not a reader of his (nothing personal, just what I happened to read and not read over the last few decades; I have been literarily deprived, which grieves me) so I get to mourn his work even as I get to know it. <BR/><BR/>We are going to Legal Sea Foods for lunch, yum yum!Jane Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13814517077774999407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202458237483635505.post-32762830780563276832008-11-08T11:14:00.000-05:002008-11-08T11:14:00.000-05:00Warmest congratulations to your father, JR.

He was and remains inspirational.

There are always points to argue, but, not withstanding persons of no account (many in academia), it is the work on the subject which must be dealt with.<BR/><BR/>Blessings on your time with your parents; it's good that you made it there.johniebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11635403219973766022noreply@blogger.com
